In a recent episode of Your Call, Dr. Dean Ornish shared his groundbreaking research on how chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer can be reversed and prevented through a plant-based diet and lifestyle changes. Dr. Ornish’s Alzheimer’s research is highlighted in the CNN documentary, The Last Alzheimer’s Patient. According to the CDC, a majority of Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease, with 40 percent having two or more. These diseases are the leading cause of illness, disability, and death in the US, but Dr. Ornish believes many cases are preventable.
Dr. Dean Ornish is the founder and president of the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF and UCSD. He is also the co-author of UnDo It! How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases. Ornish Lifestyle Medicine offers resources to empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives, including changing diet and lifestyle to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s. The Ornish Diet has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, and the Physicians Committee offers guidance on regaining health with Dr. Ornish’s methods.
With a focus on prevention and reversal of chronic diseases through a plant-based approach, Dr. Ornish’s research provides hope for those struggling with health issues. By making simple lifestyle changes, individuals can take charge of their well-being and potentially avoid chronic diseases altogether.
